Terms and Conditions
Last update: February 19, 2026
GENERAL
By booking or participating in a tour or service provided by I'm Here Travels (a Philippines-based company), you agree to these terms. Your booking contract is directly with I'm Here Travels, though third parties are involved for external activities.
1. Booking Contract
Once your booking is complete, confirmed, and the full deposit has been paid, a contract is officially in place. Upon confirmation, check that all information is correct and names match your passport exactly. You must be at least 18 years old at the time of booking.
2. Required Medical Information
You must provide information about any medical conditions. Medical forms will be required for some tours (e.g., canyoneering in the Philippines). By completing the form, you confirm all information is accurate.
I'm Here Travels reserves the right to:
• Seek professional medical opinions for your safety and others'
• Deny permission to travel or participate in certain activities if you are deemed a risk
• Cancel your booking (with cancellation fees applied) if medical forms are not completed or accurate information is not provided
3. Special Requirements
Special requirements must be provided at the time of booking so I'm Here Travels can make arrangements. These will be passed to third-party contractors if needed. Note: I'm Here Travels is not liable if a third party initially agrees but fails to comply. All food allergies must be stated at booking.
4. Age Requirements
The main demographic is 18–35, but guests under 18 are classified as minors and must always be accompanied by an adult. The accompanying adult is responsible for the minor's behavior, wellbeing, and supervision. I'm Here Travels does not provide care services for minors.
5. Insurance Requirements
All travellers must obtain travel insurance before joining any tour. Minimum coverage required: £150,000 for medical and evacuation. Coverage is strongly advised for cancellation, lost baggage/gadgets, damage, delay, or inconvenience. Guests are responsible for informing their insurer of the travel type, destination, and activities. I'm Here Travels recommends SafetyWing as a reputable provider.
6. Pricing and Taxes
Once a booking is made and deposit paid, I'm Here Travels will not increase the tour price. Prices may be reduced (e.g., early bird for first 8 bookings, Black Friday sales).
Important: Bookings made during Black Friday sales or other promotional periods at a discounted rate are strictly non-refundable.
7. Validity
Dates, itineraries, and prices can be changed at any time before a booking is made. Prices stated at the time of booking are confirmed. Guests are responsible for staying up to date via the website, social media, and group chats, as minor changes may be made prior to the tour start date.
8. Risk
By booking, you acknowledge that I'm Here Travels tours are adventurous and involve a certain level of risk. Tours may visit areas with different political/cultural environments and weather conditions that may present dangers. Staff stay up to date with current events and relevant information to assess situations.
9. Deposits and Payment
